the agony

just spent a good deal of time agonizing over buying a new notebook to write down notes to myself.

black n red



or moleskin



basically, i wanted something small. and w/ an elastic clasp to keep it closed.

this is such a nerdy pursuit. let's get pretentious.

drunk ewok on the today show

so much awesomeness. ewoks drinking and slap fighting for the first minute. the real fun begins at 1:10 when wicket starts moonwalking.



thanks to eagle for this.

surfy

today at venice.

water was colder than two weeks ago.

thick marine layer + no wind + beautiful green water = quote of the day:

"it's so clean, i can't even tell what's going on."

i still surf like a kook. but i did catch one wave that made my day, and i don't think you can ask for much more than that.

when i go surfing, i generally get a song stuck in my head. it just plays over and over. it's never what i was just listening to in the car either. today it was this:



i can't even remember the last time i heard it in real life.

poetry, i too, dislike it

totally feeling some poetry right now. CARPE DIEM!

as i said, i checked out a gary snyder book from the library.

there is a series of poems in it called: four poems for robin, all of which are totally emo and awesome. click that to read all of them.

here's my favorite one:

Eight years ago this May
We walked under cherry blossoms
At night in an orchard in Oregon.
All that I wanted then
Is forgotten now, but you.
Here in the night
In a garden of the old capital
I feel the trembling ghost of Yugao
I remember your cool body
Naked under a summer cotton dress.

the fox movie w/ wes anderson

i'd be more excited in this if the foxes weren't anthropomorphized.
